    A hidden gem at the end of a driveway. Don’t let the outside fool ya… the inside was decorated with such creative detail. Standing on the top deck gives you the illusion of a tree house. Our girls trip was full of pottery classes ( with the homeowner's), shopping, a casino stop, sunsets on the beach, and dinner out with more friends. The homeowners were so sweet and welcoming. We will definitely be back.

    This was our first time staying in LaPorte Indiana. The apartment was in the perfect location to visit places in Michigan, Indiana Dunes National Park or a day trip to Chicago. The apartment was very clean and well equipt. The one bedroom was large and had loads of storage. The area where the apartment is located is quiet and there is a small pond complete with a Swan to visit you! You can catch the Shoreline train at the Carroll Ave Station, which is a 10 minute drive away. I would highly recommend this little place as a nice get away for a weekend or longer. Check was very easy.
